With version 1.0 you have a CGI-BIN program called OWA that works with any webserver.
With version 2.0 you have a CGI-BIN program called OWA that works with any webserver, in addition to a Web Request Broker OWA cartridge. The WRB cartridge with 2.0 works with the Oracle Web Server. (with 2.0 you can still use the web agent with any server, you can't use the WRB component with any other server).
With version 2.1 you have the CGI-BIN program.......etc in addition to a Web Request Broker OWA cartridge. The WRB cartridge with 2.1 works with the Oracle Web Server and/or the Netscape Fasttrack Server.
With version 3.0 you have the CGI-BIN program....
the cartridge....
which works with Oracle Web Server, Netscape fasttrack/enterprise/commerce,
MSIIS, an perhaps others.
